Questions

What is Classic Mojito?

A refreshing Cuban cocktail featuring white rum, fresh mint, lime juice, and soda water for a bright, fizzy, and herbaceous drink. This reference files it under Cuban alcoholic drink: made in a blender, rated easy and about 5 minutes start to finish.

Can I make Classic Mojito without alcohol?

The alcohol here is 2 oz white rum. Replace a base spirit with the same volume of a zero-proof spirit, or with chilled tea or tonic for bite; replace sparkling wine with sparkling water and a squeeze of citrus. Keep every other line as written, and expect a lighter, sweeter drink, since alcohol also carries bitterness and body.

Is Classic Mojito keto-friendly?

A serving of Classic Mojito carries 12 g of carbohydrate. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 60 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 12 percent.

How many calories are in Classic Mojito?

One serving (the recipe makes 1) is about 165 calories, with 0 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate and 0 g fat, plus 458 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I batch Classic Mojito for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 1. Halved, the rum drops from 2 oz to 1 oz; doubled, it is 4 oz. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To batch it for a crowd, multiply everything but add the ice only when serving.
